Desert Rose Repotting 101: Step-by-Step for Healthy Roots & Crazy Flowers

🌵 Desert Rose Repotting Day! 🌸 In today’s video I’m repotting one of my Adeniums (Desert Roses) and walking you through exactly how I like to do it so you get healthy roots, a happy caudex, and those big knockout blooms. What I cover in this repot: ✅ How to safely unpot and check roots ✅ When to trim roots vs. leave them alone ✅ Pot sizing & why Desert Roses hate “too much pot” ✅ My fast-draining soil mix for Adeniums ✅ Aftercare so you don’t invite rot to the party 🌱 My go-to Desert Rose soil mix: I keep it chunky, airy, and quick-draining so the caudex stays firm and the roots breathe. I usually start with a cactus/succulent base and “Texas-ify” it with extra grit: Cactus/succulent soil as the base Add pumice/perlite for drainage Add pine bark / lava rock / coarse grit for airflow and structure The goal is a mix that dries out on a reasonable schedule — Adeniums love water, they just hate sitting in it. 💪 Transplant boost (what I mix into the soil): Nelson Plant Food NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix — made for transplant shock and root recovery.
